Boating content!
Those are some good looking boats!
Crazy fast for a Vee!
I was there with him when he bought the boat. Its is a big bad MOFO. We should make it desert storm.Great video.
Dan's an interesting guy. Been around boats (and boating forums) since he was a little kid. Dad has had some nice Fountains, Cigarettes and Sutphens. Dan literally walked into the Outerlimits factory as a kid oogling the boats and struck up a conversation with Mike Fiore (founder / owner). Mike was so impressed offered him a job to sweep the floors on the spot. Dan worked his way up in a very short time to basically running the place and went through a LOT of hard times there with Mike's death and then major financing backer Joe Sgro's death later. Dan's come a long way. Good guy. Buddy in the Delta just bought a used 46 Cigarette Rough Rider from him and said the experience was nothing short of spectacular. EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all things offshore powerboats (not just OL).
Matt's a good guy. Glad he's getting back on the water while the Skater fiasco is worked out. And to be getting back on the water in that focker is doing it in STYLE! You guys will DOMINATE the bay in that bitch!! Also happy he passed on American Bad Ass Sorry to see that it's in the shape it's in.I was there with him when he bought the boat.

I would love to have their 29' , such a bad ass boat
LoL.......happy to say I'm not endangering any lives. Honestly it's like using a shape charge to cut down a tree, extremely effective, but way overkill. The boat is very light and my 2500HD doesn't know it's back there most of the time. 1/2 ton can easily tow one.He’s endangering all of our lives towing with a 1/2 ton though
Man those OuterLimits are something.... here in Newport Harbor we've got a neighbor with one at that size in RDs video. He's had it for around ten years and must've had it muffled to suppress exhaust sound because a few years back I could always hear him starting it up and idling with some big blower sounds.... he's got AZ tags on his rig so he comes and goes from Ca to Az but mostly that boat stays here on his dock on a riser out of the water. I'm thinking the AZ might have some noise ordinances on your waters and perhaps Ca does too.
Well obviously not finishing up this work.....lol. I'll be down tonight and will hit you up! Awesome pics and videos from MiamiWassup Matty!

A 1/2 ton isnt towing one of these though... View attachment 847056

I bought mine from Dan...he's a great guy. Knows his stuff.

Actually, my buddy’s SV29 OL with 565/ITS/Sporty tows easier than my 23 Daytona at 80 mph. Yes, that’s a half ton Suburban with a 5.3L. The boat weighs 4400 or 4500 ready to run.
He still has this, but also has a carbon 340X MTI with 400R’s, so this is the “spare” boat now. OL could be had but not for cheap.
Don let the RDP towing gestapo find your friend.
It doesn't have a name marked in graphics.... its got orange, red & yellow striped scheme over entire boat. Matter of fact a few years ago I spotted his rig colored in same colored scheme to match. One of those trucks built to tow heavy vessels like you see at the sponsored boat shows.is the boat named Alien?
owner might be an RDP member
Oh I see..... as close as his harbor front house is to neighbors I'm sure they're happy about the noise reduction ..... I'm far enough away that I liked that sound. I don't see him out very often and only when its perfect soft santa ana conditions.They all have noise ordinances now... but rarely enforced out here. For awhile it was a big thing, but not so much anymore.

Sidebar.. how did the tourney go?We are leaving tonight or tomorrow am to Goto California for kids mma event.. hit me up on your way down
That’s awesome. Them wanting to compete is bad ass.
Didn't know you got an OL! What did you end up with?
I bought an SL52 a couple years ago. You may have seen it at Desert Storm last year
View attachment 848061
I didn't get a chance to see that last year.. That thing is a monster!!
What's the cabin look like down below? Aren't the 50's getting into "sport yacht" territory?
RD
The cabin is pretty big...I have a gen w/AC etc.
But the boat is sporty. All composite with a 5 step bottom, so it doesn’t feel (sluggish) like you expect with a 50’er +.
You bringing it out again this year?
RD
Yeah, it’s in Havasu now, so I’ll probably use it there up to Memorial Day.
Do you remember the “Gotta Go” OL at LOTO? He was running 155MPH in the shootout with Merc power. Pretty impressive for a full cabin and warranty power.
So I sipped looking at GTXs and started looking at the newer boats.
